Among the names I'm hearing for the three new safely red seats NC's GOP legislature just drew: #NC04 (Raleigh exurbs): ex-Rep. Renee Ellmers (R) #NC07 (Burlington/Asheboro): ex-Rep. Mark Walker (R) #NC13 (Gaston/Cleveland Co.): State House Speaker Tim Moore (R) Hmm... — PolitiTweet.org

Why would NJ Dems agree to sacrifice one of their own seats? Because in light of Tuesday's results, they could easily lose 2-3 of their seats - at a minimum, Malinowski and #NJ03 Rep. Andy Kim (D) - if the current map were left more or less intact in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NEW JERSEY: Dems I've spoken w/ now believe they would be lucky to emerge w/ a 9D-3R split in 2022 (vs. 10D-2R now), raising the chances they cut a deal w/ GOP commissioners to throw #NJ07 Rep. Tom Malinowski (D) under the bus to shore up #NJ03, #NJ05 and #NJ11 (example, right). https://t.co/CJMQnuSA2A — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New: voters' rejection of a constitutional amendment to modify NY's redistricting process on Tuesday could leave NY Dems w/ less time and less margin for defections to pass an aggressive gerrymander early next year. https://t.co/0JOYzHNy31 — PolitiTweet.org

For context: national Dems had been hoping for a western #MT01 more like this one, which would have been just Trump +2. https://t.co/XXjF4eVqBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New: in a setback for Dems, the tie-breaking member of Montana's commission has sided w/ its GOP members to pick a map that would place Helena in an eastern #MT02 and make the western #MT01 Trump +7, very likely resulting in a 2R-0D delegation. https://t.co/nyTg4S6AvR — PolitiTweet.org

Redistricting realities: hitting up donors for $1.9 million, only to drop out of the race when the district isn't drawn the way you hoped. #CO03 — PolitiTweet.org

Redistricting is in full swing. Do you need to track what's changing? @CookPolitical subscribers get access to our full analysis, scenario maps & population breakdowns for every state in the nation. https://t.co/ot7MOpadWG https://t.co/CMWRa1sOCy — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This would absolutely be true if you expanded the House from 435 to, say, 331 million. But doubling/tripling the size of the House? That gets you into state legislative district territory in many states. Have you seen how lopsided gerrymandered state legislatures can be? — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The most insane take on this site that just won't die is that "uncapping the House" would somehow be a magic fix for partisan gerrymandering. — PolitiTweet.org

New for @CookPolitical subscribers: we've got the inside scoop on North Carolina's no-holds-barred GOP gerrymander, who's likely running where & the court battle to come. https://t.co/zoji2WHhSZ https://t.co/lj4uLy5mSB — PolitiTweet.org

New: with 11 states complete (pending lawsuits), a quarter of states w/ more than one seat have passed new congressional lines. View @CookPolitical's 2022 ratings & PVI scores for the new districts here: https://t.co/dUuIJ3Chn5 https://t.co/oROhEpRjrO — PolitiTweet.org

Murphy's (D) margin of victory in #NJGOV is on track to be a slightly larger than Youngkin's (R) in #VAGOV, but the scariest part for Dems may be how consistent the pro-GOP swing was on Tuesday... NJ: Biden +16 to Murphy +3.5 (?) VA: Biden +10 to Youngkin +2.5 — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa's tradition holds, as Gov. Reynolds signs the second-draft maps proposed by IA's nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency into law. Iowa becomes the 11th state to finish congressional redistricting (33 to go). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New: Alabama becomes the 10th state to finalize a congressional map. Dems are certain to sue b/c the GOP map keeps Black voters hyper-packed in just one of the state's seven seats, #AL07. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I wouldn’t call Dem turnout a disaster. If you’d told me before Tuesday that McAuliffe would get 1.6 million votes (almost 200k more than Northam ‘17), I’d have guessed he’d won. It’s more that Youngkin turned Trump voters out at phenomenal levels and Dems couldn’t keep pace. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NC & OH's brutal GOP gerrymanders drive home why redistricting is massively more consequential to partisan outcomes than changes to voting procedures, etc. - even though it gets less attention. State court decisions over these two maps alone could decide 5-8 House seats. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Update: in the last few minutes, NC's GOP legislature officially adopted this map, and Gov. Roy Cooper (D) has no veto power over maps. This plan is now law - and the stampede to the courthouse begins. https://t.co/Lf9Zh7pUoZ — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NC's NAACP et. al. have already sued in state court to block it on basis of failing to consider race. Dems also likely to pursue a partisan gerrymandering claim in state court (but NC courts have crept right since 2019). If this map stands, Dems are likely doomed here in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NC Republicans are going for the jugular: the state senate-approved congressional map move NC from 8R-5D to 10R-3R-1C, dooming #NC06 Rep. Kathy Manning (D) and diluting the Black share in Rep. G.K. Butterfield's (D) #NC01 from 44% to 41% - which could end his career too. https://t.co/CDFHOd4qyG — PolitiTweet.org
